CONFIG_LBD and CONFIG_LSF are spread into asm/types.h for no particularly good reason. Centralising the definition in linux/types.h means that arch maintainers don't need to bother adding it, as well as fixing the problem with x86-64 users being asked to make a decision that has absolutely no effect. The H8/300 porters seem particularly confused since I'm not aware of any microcontrollers that need to support 2TB filesystems.

This permits the block layer to be removed from the kernel if it's not
|
|
needed (on some embedded devices for example). If this option is
|
|
disabled, then blockdev files will become unusable and some
|
|
filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
|
|
|
|
This option will also disable SCSI character devices and USB storage
|
|
since they make use of various block layer definitions and
|
|
facilities.

|
|
Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and
|
|
suchlike.

Say Y here, if you want to be able to trace the block layer actions

on a block device queue. For more information (and the user space

support tools needed), fetch the blktrace app from:
